I'd only heard of Hush being a stand-out arc. I didn't know anything else about the content or the character. I would recommend this to anyone that's new to Batman. Loads of badguys feature and the art work is lush. The art is so detailed; Jim Lee really nails the power and violence of Batman. The colour is also super-vibrant. This edition is beautifully printed and the pages are heavy-weight glossy paper in an oversized format. It makes the art REALLY pop. My criticism is Loeb's story is almost a bit contrite - it's very twisty and at times it seems too clever. Nevertheless at £26 and in such a beautiful edition this is a good buy; especially if you're quite new to Batman. The story is easily accessible and features tonnes of characters - this is a great introduction with superb artwork. More comics should be presented like this.
